EP. 88 Leaving Social Media Without Losing Your Mind The OFFLINE Reset for Writers Facing Algorithm Anxiety with Ashriel Huber

Leaving social media is a huge step that takes a lot of courage. And for many writers, that step can feel less like a strategy shift—and more like a threat to your calling, your identity, and your future as a writer.

This week, we chat with author, podcast host and certified brain coach Ashriel Huber, where we unpack the very real anxiety behind that feeling, what’s happening in your brain when the panic sets in, and how to reset your thoughts and nervous system so you can move forward with clarity, peace, and confidence in the work God has called you to do. Listen in!

Tune in to Hear:

  • Why leaving social media can feel like a threat to your calling, identity, and future as a writer
  • What’s happening in your brain (and body) when “algorithm panic” kicks in
  • Why your amygdala can’t tell the difference between a giant bear and an Instagram feed (and what to do about it)
  • A full walkthrough of the Ashriel’s CREATE reset — a practical, in-the-moment framework for getting out of the spiral and back into your work
  • Why leaving social media can surface unexpected grief, and three simple moves for processing it without pushing it away
